Why would India need a submarine fleet? Do they fear a Pakistani invasion?
I hope the rescue operation finds the missing crew alive and well.

As an absolute minimum a submarine fleet and a carrier helps them protect their coastal sea areas.....they've a huge coastline.

The Indians have stated that it might have been caused by a fire that started in the battery compartment during a charge that spread to the torpedo compartment.

Video of the incident:
http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/new...rakshak/286797 It should be noted this submarine probably had 53-65 series torpedoes which are powered by hydrogen peroxide which has resulted in the lost of other submarines (HMS Sidon and possibly the Kursk).
